Soon, news of Jiang Ning holding a press conference at Wangfujing Square spread throughout the capital.
There are more entertainment options now than before. Color TVs have become an important appliance for urban families, and video arcades have sprung up on the streets like mushrooms after rain, where you can go in anytime and spend a few cents or dollars to watch blockbusters.
Karaoke bars and KTVs are everywhere, and billiard halls and ice rinks are entertainment venues for young people.
But people's curiosity remains unchanged throughout history.
I heard that a famous female entrepreneur in the capital is going to hold a press conference. Everyone is talking about it and wants to see her in person.
Because the impact of this matter was so great, the police even spoke with Jiang Ning, feeling that what she was doing was tantamount to a disguised assembly, which could easily cause a crowd to gather, and it would be bad if something else happened.
Jiang Ning argued, "I used this method to prove my innocence, and it's not illegal. If it can't be done publicly, it can be done indoors, but the press conference has already been publicized, and it can't be stopped."
The police chief then called the mayor.
Yu Qi gave instructions to allow the press conference to be held, but only a portion of the public was allowed to participate, and the police were to cooperate to ensure that no riots occurred.
Jiang Ning did not expect that her situation would become complicated. She specially marked out a piece of land in Wangfujing Square, isolated it with a cordon, and then filled it with chairs.
Only invited journalists and a portion of the public were allowed to enter the venue and take their seats.
As for other onlookers, the police will organize their evacuation; those who cannot be evacuated should not approach.
When Chen Hao received the news, he impatiently ripped the cigar out of his mouth and crumpled it into a ball.
"This woman is really something, daring to play like this. Send some of our reporters to help her deal with this."
He said to his assistant.
At this moment, Duo Mei rushed in and pleaded with Chen Hao, crying:
"Brother Hao, could you help me find Brother Tao? We haven't heard from him in Guangzhou or Hong Kong. He should still be in Beijing. It's been so many days, I hope he's not in any danger?"
Chen Hao glanced at him impatiently.
"What are you crying about? You probably don't know Tao's background. He had a wife when he was in the countryside, but after he moved to the city, he changed his identity and married another woman, and even sent her to prison."
You don't actually think he cares about you, do you? He just had plastic surgery and is using you as a cover. Sleeping with you is just for fun.
"You might as well come with me; at least I can make sure you don't have to live in fear."
As he spoke, Chen Hao pinched Duo Mei's face and pressed her soft body against him.
Duo Mei quickly struggled, "Brother Hao, don't do this! I'm Brother Tao's woman. No matter how many wives he's had before, he only has me now!"
Chen Hao threw her aside, looking utterly dejected.
"Get lost. I didn't expect that idiot to be so popular with women."
Instead of making things difficult for Duo Mei, he instructed his subordinates to quickly make arrangements for attending the press conference.
A few days later, the press conference was held as scheduled.
It was a beautiful, sunny day with a gentle autumn breeze.
The press conference was filled with rousing music, and reporters took their seats one after another. The crowd surrounding the venue packed the entire place.
The police station dispatched more than ten officers to maintain order at the scene.
On the podium, Jiang Ning sat alone, flipping through her prepared speech, her expression calm and serene.
Lin Chen, Wang Xiufen, and others sitting in the audience seemed a little nervous, their clenched fists sweating profusely.
Seeing that it was almost time, Jiang Ning cleared her throat and spoke into the microphone:
"Thank you all for coming to my press conference. Given the rampant rumors about me lately, I have made a special effort to organize this press conference despite all the difficulties."
Dear journalists, if you have any questions, please feel free to ask me through the microphone. I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer.
After a brief opening, Jiang Ning had Lin Chen hand the microphone to the first reporter who raised his hand.
"President Jiang, please tell us directly, is Xu Jie's death related to you? What is your relationship with him?"
"I asked the reporter."
Jiang Ning spoke calmly and resolutely into the microphone:
"Xu Jie's death has nothing to do with me. This is the result of the police investigation. Please trust the police."
As for my relationship with Xu Jie, I just want to tell you that our relationship is limited to mere acquaintance.
A few years ago, when I was still working at Starlight Trading, I was colleagues with his wife, Lucy.
They were not married at the time.
These old stories are all open to verification, so I won't go into too much detail. My acquaintance with Xu Jie is limited to this.
As one problem ends, another arises, and she handles them all with composure.
Just when she thought this matter would finally silence all the rumors with the help of wise people, someone asked unsolicited:
"President Jiang, aren't you being a bit evasive? You were at the scene when Xu Jie's body was discovered. How do you explain that? Is it possible that even if you're not the murderer, you were an accomplice?"
Jiang Ning's heart skipped a beat. She hadn't expected someone to actually make a big deal out of this detail and fabricate facts.
Lin Chen couldn't stand it anymore, stood up, and yelled at him.
"Where did you come from, reporter? You're spouting nonsense without any evidence?"
Jiang Ning steadied himself and said:
"This reporter, I reserve the right to fabricate facts against you. I can tell you clearly that the real murderer is on the run, and he is an employee of R&F Group. His current name is Fang Shengtao, but that is not his real name. His real name is Lin Tao."
He is my husband's cousin.
How could I possibly become an accomplice to someone who once hurt us? Once the police find him, the truth will come out!
Jiang Ning's words were like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, creating ripples.
The reporters' cameras snapped away at Jiang Ning, bombarding her with even more questions.
The story of Lin Tao's transformation was told in detail by Jiang Ning.
Everyone was stunned. Could there really be such a person?
From stealing money from the printing factory to running away, to selling flour, and then to murder, how could there be such a vicious person?
He disguised himself so well that he wasn't discovered for over ten years!
Seeing that Jiang Ning had completely taken control of the situation, the reporters sent by Chen Hao turned their attention to R&F Group.
Even though R&F Group is a Hong Kong-funded company, its practice of employing fugitives is unforgivable.
Calls to find Lin Tao also spread among the onlookers.
"As long as Lin Tao is still in the capital, we cannot allow him to have a place to stay!"
"Aren't we afraid that a murderer is hiding among us? We should unite and find the murderer."
Just as everyone was getting excited, a commotion broke out at Ma Huijuan's house.
